    After more than 40 years of interviewing heads of state, world leaders, movie stars, criminals, murderers, inspirational figures, and celebrities of all kinds, Barbara Walters has turned her gift for examination onto herself to reveal the forces that shaped her extraordinary life.

    Story

    I found the abridged version very disappointing. After all the publicity Barbara Walters garnered from talking about her affair with Edward Brooke, it was not even mentioned in this version. Too much of the book was a recital of her career successes.

    Universally acclaimed as a musical genius, Miles Davis was one of the most important and influential musicians in the world. Here, Miles speaks out about his extraordinary life. Miles: The Autobiography, like Miles himself, holds nothing back. For the first time Miles talks about his five-year silence. He speaks frankly and openly about his drug problem and how he overcame it. He condemns the racism he encountered in the music business and in American society generally. And he discusses the women in his life.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    After listening to a couple of hours where almost every other word for a four letter one, I finally gave up on the book.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Miles Davis again?

    No


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Dion Graham?

    Probably not


    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    I was very disappointed.

    Private eye Sharon McCone receives an email asking for help from her emotionally disturbed half-brother, Darcy Blackhawk, but he fails to reply to her response. As Sharon digs deeper, she discovers that Darcy sent his message from an Internet café in San Francisco, a city he's never been to before. Sensing that Darcy is in terrible danger, McCone begins a search for him throughout the city. The investigation leads her to the body of a woman at the Palace of Fine Arts, where a witness told her Darcy was headed. As her search widens, Sharon uncovers a connection to an unsolved murder....

    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    The narrator used the same voice for every character so that I couldn't easily follow the story. Narration was so bad I didn't finish the book.
